The Parting Glass

[VERSE 1]
   Am        F        C      G
Of all the money that I have had
  Am               C    G
I spent it in good company
    Am     F         C      G
And of the harm that I have done
 Am      C      F        Am
Alas, it was to none but me
    C        F        C       F
And all I've done for want of wit
   Dm     C      F       G
To memory now, I can't recall
   Am      F      C       G
So fill to me the parting glass
    Am        C      F        Am
Goodnight and joy be with you all
 
 
[VERSE 2]
            F            C      G
Of all the comrades that I have had
         Am           C      G
They are sorry for my going away
    Am      F                C      G
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
           Am      C        F      Am
They would wish me one more day to stay
    C        F       C     F
But since it falls unto my lot
     Dm       C        F          G
That I should rise and you should not
     Am     F        C      G
I'll gently rise and softly call
     Am        C      F        Am
"Goodnight and joy be with you all"
 
 
[VERSE 3]
          F         C      G
A man may drink and not be drunk
  Am                C      G
A man may fight and not be slain
  Am      F       C      G
A man may court a pretty girl
       Dm      C        F     Am
And perhaps be welcomed back again
    C        F      C       F
But since it has so ordered been
     Dm      C          F       G
By a time to rise and a time to fall
     Dm             F       G
Come fill to me the parting glass
    Am        C      F    G   F
Goodnight and joy be with you all
     Dm             F       G
Come fill to me the parting glass
    Am        C      F    G   F
Goodnight and joy be with you all
